Denilson is currently unattached after he was released by Brazilian side Botafogo last year without making a competitive appearance for the club.
The 32-year-old joined Arsenal from Sao Paulo in 2006 and spent seven years on the books of the North London side.
Denilson has since taken in a second spell at Sao Paulo and has also represented United Arab Emirates side Al-Wahda and Cruzeiro.
Despite going through a difficult period in recent years, Denilson is keen on making up for lost time and play for five more years.
He told EPTV: "I went through sad moments, I kept it to myself and that is bad, but I never gave up. I want to have another five years [in my career] and that's what I intend to do.
"I want to continue playing professionally and really only after that look for something else to do.
"I want to work, to do what I love, because that's what I know how to do. For me, playing at Emirates Stadium is the same as playing at Botafogo-SP's stadium.
"I want to be playing regardless of whether it's on a good or bad pitch. The important thing is to be on the field, doing my job."
